Ok. You can stop sending me links to the Wendy Williams show. You know - the episode with Omarosa as her guest.

LET.IT.GO.

SERIOUSLY.

I didn’t watch it. I’m not going to. The show doesn’t air in my area and if it did, I wouldn’t watch it. I’m not a fan of either of those ladies. Congrats to them on getting their hustle on and keep pressing. I’m not a fan of controversy for the sake of controversy (or publicity), on any scale. But hey, I’m busy doing me my way …and letting other folk do them their way.

Someone said Omarosa appeared on the show for “publicity”. Wow. Really? Of course she did. That’s the exact same reason she was invited to appear as a guest. I guess what gets me the most about this whole thing (beyond the fact that so many folk either watched the show, watched the clip online, or passed it around to others) is the fact that folks are seriously lining up in support of one of these ladies vs. the other.

* Sweet Jesus part the sky!! *

Why is anyone “surprised” as to how this episode played out? Based on what I’ve seen and/or heard of these two, what took place is their basic, every day MO - it appears to be how they operate. What were people expecting? Hearts and flowers? That they’d pull out their blackberries & plan a “Sistahood Spa Day” on the spot? Puhleeze.

Folks keep talking about how irritated they are that folks act this way and it’s a representation of ALL Black women.

Newsflash: AIN’T NONE OF THAT CRAP REPRESENTATIVE OF ME AS A BLACK WOMAN. Nor does it represent 99.5% of the women I’ve ever known. So don’t come at me with that ‘representation’ line. I’m not trying to hear that shiggidy and I’m not accepting anybody telling me that it is. Ugh! (’Scuse me…my teeth are itching. LOL)

And that whole “B*tch-Switch-Inner-B*itch-create-an-’empowering-acronynm-using-the-word-b*tch” thing? I don’t buy into that either. I think too many of us have fallen victim to that mentality, that whole “let’s flip the script, use the word in positive ways”. Um, no thanks.

I know I blogged about this before (in terms of “These Three Words: B*itch, Ho & the N-word”) but it bears repeating:

If you think I’m a strong woman, say that. Using those words.

If you think I’m intimidating, say that. Using those words.

If you think I’m aggressive, say that. Using those words.

If you think I’m being overly defensive, say that. Using those words.

See, what might happen if you chose to go against MY grain and use the “B-word” (whether you intend it as a compliment or otherwise)…a B*tch will probably meet you at the end of whatever sentence you’re forming.

Fo’ sho’.

So, um…what have we learned here today Boys & Girls?

1. Stop sending Ms.Jayy links to anything about Wendy Williams, Omarosa, and/or the B-word

2. Ms.Jayy (and millions of other women like her) are NOT represented by these ladies.

3. MsJayy ain’t knocking nobody’s hustle, she’s just clarifying her boundaries. Do you Boo! Full throttle!

4. Calling MsJayy a b*tch is pretty much guaranteed to push her past “teeth-itching” level and that ain’t good.

Keep living,
